Today Jill Clark filed a pleading at the Minnesota Clerk of Appellate Court, which I was told is the ‘intake valve’ for the Minnesota Supreme Court. It is deemed filed as of today – the details are below. THE STAY IS AUTOMATIC, and the Court lacks jurisdiction – which I have been saying…

Hope is floating on the breeze carrying my soul high up above the ground and

I’ve been keeping to myself

Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing…

I’ve been stumbling through some dark places

Now I’m following the plow

I know I’ve fallen out of your good gracesIt’s alright now

And I’ve been waiting in the weeds

Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the Wild birds scattering the seeds

Answering the calling of the tide’s eternal tune

The phases of the moon The chambers of the heart

The ebb and dart of small gray Spiders spinning in the dark

In spite of all the times the web is torn apart and

I’ve been waiting in the weeds Waiting for my time to come around again…

“The right to sue and defend in the courts is the alternative of force. In an organized society it is the right conservative of all other rights, and lies at the foundation of orderly government. It is one of the highest and most essential privileges of citizenship … granted and

protected by the federal constitution.”

If a law enforcement agency executes a warrant when it has information that it is a bad warrant, or is not a warrant at all (that there is, literally, no judge-signed order), it risks liability. That law enforcement agency needs to decide, based on all of the facts, whether it has the authority to take a certain action. Further, that agency is not permitted to ignore facts it has been provided.

If law enforcement acts “abruptly and summarily” in the face of “evidence that might be characterized as contrary to the conclusion…” it “gamble[s] that is [i]s correct in its conclusions….”
